This week we are revisiting The Mahabharata in a different version. I have chosen the video option because it helped me last time in getting a better understanding of The Ramayana. I hope that this film will help me understand both the plot and characters better.
- The film is split into short episodes verses one big film.
- Queen Ganga seems brutal
- Ganga and Shantanu's either son does not die and he is trained in the art of war
- After Ganga leaves him Shantanu falls in love again but he cannot be with her.
- The video remind me of a draw my life video (a popular video on YouTube)
- Devavrata vows to never marry
- I struggle with the way this story is told in the videos. The names are said very fast and I am not able to understand what the narrator is saying much of the time
- Bhishma brings three princesses to his king
- I do not recognize the Umba
- I now realize the narrator is saying Amba
- After being taken with two other princesses, Amba is rejected by both kings and she is angry at Bhishma for taking her
- Sage Parashuram fights Bhishma for Amba but they are too evenly matched and Bhishma wins because of his will
- Bhishma finds out he has a brother named Vyasdeva
- Vyasdeva is ugly but he has three sons with three different women: Dhritharashtra, Pandu and Vidu
- Gandhari marries Dhritharashtra after blindfolding herself
- Kunti can summon Gods and had a son with the sun God
- Pandu will die if he gets intimate and doesn’t return to the kingdom
- The Pandavas are born
- Margery kills herself after Pandu dies
- It ends with Dorna teaching the Pandavas own to fight and we learn about
